"We absolutely love Keisha! She is kind, compassionate, and very caring with our now 4 month old daughter. She worked overnights when our baby was in the throes of sleep regression, and spent days with her in the park and at the library. She truly helped me make my transition into motherhood much more smooth. I can’t express enough how much we love her and appreciate all she does for us. Please feel free to contact me for a reference."

Hi there!
My name is Hannah! I’m twenty years old and I’m originally from Orem, Utah. I will be moving to New York this coming January. I am beyond excited for the opportunity to be a nanny in this beautiful city!

From neighborhood babysitter, to a mother’s assistant, and eventually a children’s private art teacher, I’ve had experience with with children of all ages.

A little bit about me

I am a reliable, patient, and creative person with approximately 8 years of experience caring for and teaching young children. I’ve spent those years as a long-term nanny for a family of three children, teaching children’s theater classes, and tutoring English as a second language to young non-native speakers. Like any good teacher, I’ve found the best way to create fun productive environment is balancing diligent, organized planning with a spirit of flexibility and curiosity. Finding that balance is different with every child, but that is where my passion lies. I will work hard to create an environment in which your child feels cared for and safe, while also staying open to having fun and learning about the world around us.

Nearby cities to find a special needs nanny

What are the responsibilities of a nanny?

Nanny responsibilities range from childcare tasks to assisting with household duties. The exact job description depends on the specific needs of the family. For a special needs nanny, duties might also include providing tailored care and implementing therapeutic activities. Activities can be tailored to the child's interests and abilities. For instance, exploring sensory-friendly exhibits at the Children's Museum of the Arts for a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Check out our guide for a deeper dive into nanny responsibilities.

How should I conduct a nanny interview?

When you find a nanny in New York, the interview process is crucial. Prepare in advance by creating a list of nanny interview questions tailored to your family's needs. These may touch on their experience with special needs children, their training, and their ability to handle potential emergency situations. Remember, it's essential to have a conversation, not just a Q&A session. Here's how to prepare for a nanny interview.

What is a nanny contract and why do I need one?

A nanny contract is an agreement between you and your nanny that outlines key details such as hours, salary, and job duties. It helps set clear expectations and can help prevent misunderstandings down the road. It's also a great place to lay out specifics about caring for children with special needs. For a closer look at the details, see our guide on nanny contracts.

What should I know about nanny payroll and taxes?

Nannies are considered household employees, which means you're responsible for withholding taxes from their paycheck and paying employer taxes. This process can be complex, but a nanny payroll service can help simplify it.

How do I ensure a safe and secure hire with background checks?

Background checks are a vital step in the hiring process. They can provide peace of mind about your potential nanny's criminal history, driving records, and other vital information. It's always wise to inform candidates in advance that you will be conducting a background check. You can learn more about our approach to background checks here.

How do I decide between a part-time, full-time, or summer nanny?

Your decision will depend on your family's needs and schedule. A full-time nanny often works 40 hours a week, while a part-time nanny might work less than that. A summer nanny is typically hired for a set period during the summer break. You might find that one type of arrangement better fits your family's requirements. To help you navigate these choices, we've prepared a guide detailing the costs associated with each type of nanny in New York.
